CONT

La perte prématurée d'une ou [de] plusieurs dents temporaires se doit toujours d'être interceptée immédiatement par la mise en place de mainteneurs d'espace pour assurer l'équilibre des arcades. Ils s'adaptent en fonction du type d'édentation. Pour les secteurs latéraux, à la mandibule, l'arc lingual est le stabilisateur de choix, pour le maxillaire, c'est l'arc de Nance qui est le plus fiable.
